Obviously, it’s a very powerful moment…to be able to come here and to fully appreciate the magnitude of the slave trade, to get a sense in a very intimate way of the incredible inhumanity and hardship that people faced before they made the Middle Passage and that crossing.

And this is a testament to when we’re not vigilant in defense of what’s right, what can happen.
Know your history…or get to live it.
